Mary McDonnell is another artist S. B. Long Interiors Inc. absolutely loves. McDonnell’s signature oil paintings, ink drawings, and drawings on paper, are the work of pure genius.

Her paintings and drawings have also been showcased in 18 group exhibitions, dating back to 1981 and as recent as 2010.
Her current and upcoming group exhibitions, “Drawn/Taped/Burned: Abstraction on Paper,” is currently being held through May 1 at Katonah Museum of Art, Katonah, NY and “Arcadia Now,” will be held April 11-May 15 at Christine Price Gallery, Castleton State College, Vermont.
Throughout her extensive career, McDonnell has won numerous awards including the 2003 Distinguished Artist Award, from Western Michigan University Art’s Centennial.
